2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

That worked - thank you!!! One more question. Have you had any issues with the stereo controls behind the steering wheel? When I use Bluetooth for the music on my iPhone, normally the control on the left side changes songs, right side is volume. A few days ago they were switched around! Maybe just a glitch? Next time I turned it on, they were back to normal. Also, I can't seem to access playlists or search by artist, it just brings songs up in no particular order. I just have the 5 inch screen, so maybe it's just very basic.

When this happens, here is a workaround......move your right hand to 9 o clock, and your left to 3

Don’t know, but yes, waiting on mirrors. I have not received shipowner notification, so I assume August 10. Please let us know if you get them!

Well, I received this today

Thinking I'm going to order a Punk'n Rubi before the deadline this week. I'd wait til 2019 if I knew they'd have Punk'n but don't want to risk not getting it.

Here is the build sheet the dealer gave me...anyone see anything out of the ordinary on here...or have any advice?

Only thing I may add is the leather seats...debating between black and tan leather.

I think it looks good. Just a heads up you can get the sill guards for $45 online and they are easy to put on

I haven't had any issues with the controls, but I'm Android (Samsung Gal S8). Mine is the 5" screen as well. If it keeps on switching around, then I'd say, yep it's a glitch.

I know every body loves leather seats , but i'll tell you what i had the top down thursday, friday , and saturday, with the sun beating down hard. i would not of wanted to get into leather seats any of those days. Also if you want punk'n I would order this year, jeep doesn't usually keep the odd ball colors for more then one year.

Agree with you on the leather seats, and would also add if someone really wants leather go aftermarket. My opinion, leather in most vehicles is of low quality. Higher end vehicles tend to have good leather, but low to even mid range not so much.

Billy,

I thought I saw somewhere that you can order katzkin as a factory option now.

Saw my first two door JL today at The Big Jeep Thing in Milford CT. The white JL was from Great Barrington Ma. about 10 miles east of me.

I have ordered a 2 door Rubicon all white with matching fenders and with the 2.0 turbo....VERY CONCERNED that the turbo motor choice will seriously delay this order - anyone on here heard of any news about the 2.0 turbo availability??? Any FCA people on here with news???

That would be amazing. Didn’t see the option tho...maybe it’s dealer specific?

Thanks! so I saw this on another post:

"Okay, so I just saw both the Sahara and Rubicon in both leather and cloth combinations. I felt that the Sahara cloth was pretty plain and not very interesting, vs the Rubicon which had nice honeycomb looking patterns and what appeared to be some ballistic nylon. One very positive thing I noticed was that with the leather option, you get a folding center armrest with integrated cup holders in the rear seats. It also adds leather on the dash (instead of plastic), and leather wrapped shifting knobs. Without the leather, you don't get any armrest and the tall plastic cupholders are on the floorboard making the rear center seat almost unusable because of the lack of legroom.
For Rubicon, I'd probably get the cloth to save for other options, but on the Sahara, I think I would elect the leather for the reasons stated above."

so if I dont get leather on a rubi do I lose the leather on the armrest, dash, shifter etc?"
